what will you do to turn this around
  so many behind you so many before you
  ticket in one hand gun in the other
  what will you do which hand will you use?
    came on the run and you will leave running
  there's always someone to keep you from thinking
  loving her desperately knowing you're leaving
  what will you do now with no one to go to?
    there are so many places to see
  there are so many people to be
  this country was promised to me from the start
    the kids. the park. the crosshairs find their mark.
  i think i'm the sum of what's before and what's to come
  a saint with a scope and a holster full of hope
  it depends it depends some stories never end
  but mine unwinds in seconds
    what will you do to save your own life
  drink yourself brilliant, make love to your image
  dad's on the left side, mom's on the right
  what will you do now to keep them divided?
    eyes out the window the folly of humans
  mid-day anonymous when guns find their purpose
  end of the country the end of the century
  ending of everything the ending is everything
    there are so many people in me
  there are so many women to meet
  remember me to all the ones i have lost
  the glock is cocked. the sheep begin to drop
  i think i'm the son of what's before and what's to come
    a saint with a scope and a pocketful of dope
  seven stars! seven stars! the kingdom is ours
  the stairs the light the street the blue and whites
  deep in the flat with the technicolor cat
  and hey my varicose guilt!
